I am a master of both medicine and martial arts; after my release from prison, I will dominate the w

Xiao Yuening said coldly, "It has nothing to do with me! I only heard that she wanted to challenge me."

Guo Zhenyue was taken aback; the other person didn't even respond.

"This villain Chu Yang not only killed my disciple and his closest relatives, but also kidnapped one of my personal disciples."

Xiao Yuening glanced at him sideways, his tone impatient, and repeated, "It's none of my business!"

Guo Zhenyue, the peak master of Xuanyun Sect, was losing his temper after being repeatedly disrespected by a junior.

"Alright! If War God Xiao insists on having a match, then let's follow the rules of the martial arts world, draw up a contract, and leave our fates to fate."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruoyan secretly admired her master, who was indeed very thoughtful.

If he were to kill Xiao Yuening directly, the military would definitely not let it go.

She was now worried that Xiao Yuening would back down, so she quickly spoke up:

"Xiao Yuening, if you don't dare, then admit defeat now."

Xiao Yuening scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of?"

Jiang Ruoyan, who had always been known as invincible among her peers in the Xuanyun Sect, smiled with a delighted expression.

Once today is over, I will surely become famous throughout the world!

Both parties quickly signed a waiver of liability.

Guo Zhenyue calmly transferred a condensed stream of true energy into Jiang Ruoyan's body.

"Yan'er, we have the official documents in hand, and the Xuan Yun Sect is backing us. Just go ahead and do it. Make sure no one is left alive."

Jiang Ruoyan immediately felt even more confident.

Guo Zhenyue had previously infused her with his inner energy.

She knew very well that even a Grandmaster who had just opened his meridians wouldn't dare say he was completely unharmed by that Grandmaster's true energy, let alone a mere mid-stage Grandmaster.

This time, Xiao Yuening is doomed!

With this in mind, Jiang Ruoyan pointed her sword at Xiao Yuening and said sharply:

"Today I'll show you that you're nothing but a fame-seeking opportunist who relies on connections."

Xiao Yuening stood rooted to the spot, beckoned with one finger, and uttered two words in a cold tone: "Come and fight!!!"

Jiang Ruoyan's longsword hummed, carrying a sharp sword aura, transforming into a dazzling cold light.

Her face carried the arrogance inherent in the sect's prodigies, as if she could already see the other party's blood splattered on the spot.

However, Xiao Yuening's eyes were as cold as the snowstorm on the battlefield, and his figure advanced instead of retreating, like a ghost embedded in the sword light.

She didn't use any fancy moves or weapons; her attacks were simply combat skills honed on the battlefield!

He turned sideways, twisted his waist, and closed in; his movements were as fast as lightning, ruthless and cunning.

After only three moves, Guo Zhenyue began to feel uneasy.

He hadn't expected Xiao Yuening's strength to be so terrifying, far exceeding the mid-stage Grandmaster realm.

He even suspected that Xiao Yuening could handle a Grandmaster who had opened his meridians with ease.

Every attack Jiang Ruoyan made seemed to be anticipated by Xiao Yuening, a testament to his extensive battlefield experience.

Now he understood why Xiao Yuening, a Grandmaster, was granted a title by the imperial court.

However, he was also secretly glad that he had just transferred that energy to Jiang Ruoyan.

With that energy, Xiao Yuening is bound to be defeated.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Xiao Yuening's elbow struck Jiang Ruoyan's wrist, which was holding a sword, with precision and ruthlessness. The immense force instantly paralyzed her entire arm.

The moment the longsword flew out of his hand, Xiao Yuening's knee was already ramming into his abdomen like a battering ram!

"Ugh—!"

Jiang Ruoyan cried out in pain, as if her internal organs had been shattered by a tremendous force. Her body crashed heavily to the ground, her beautiful face contorted with agony and disbelief.

Her exquisite swordsmanship, which she was so proud of, proved utterly ineffective against her opponent's ruthless and direct battlefield tactics!

The feeling of being crushed filled her with intense humiliation and horror.

"Impossible! You're just a pretty face!"

Jiang Ruoyan's eyes were bloodshot; her pride had been utterly shattered, leaving only a frenzied hatred.

When she saw Xiao Yuening standing before her with a confident smile of a victor, hands behind his back, she no longer hesitated. A hint of malice flashed in her eyes as she forcefully suppressed her surging blood and qi, and calmly mobilized the true qi of a supreme grandmaster that Guo Zhenyue had transferred into her body!

A tremendous and terrifying power surged through her meridians, far exceeding her own limits.

Xiao Yuening coldly asked, "Admit defeat, or continue fighting?"

"Die—!" Jiang Ruoyan screamed, no longer hiding her true intentions. She unleashed both palms, and a burst of destructive energy, like a beast released from its cage, tore through the air and hurtled straight at Xiao Yuening's heart!

So close, that was the decisive blow!

She wanted to utterly destroy the woman who had trampled on her pride!

A cruel smile curled at the corner of Guo Zhenyue's lips.

"Hahaha, War God Xiao, this is the price you pay for your arrogance! You have no one to blame but yourself!"

Chu Yang scoffed dismissively.

Even if Guo Zhenyue himself were to intervene, Xiao Yuening would not be injured as long as he could react in time.

Moreover, with him protecting him, it would be difficult for Xiao Yuening to get injured.

Faced with this sudden and terrifying killing move, Xiao Yuening's expression remained cold, his eyebrows raised in anger.

"You bitch! You dare to scheme against me?"

The secret technique of "Diamond Body" within her body suddenly activated!

A layer of dark, iron-like aura, covered with strange thorns and spikes, instantly enveloped his entire body, as if he were wearing a ferocious suit of armor.

"Boom—!"

The force of the energy slammed into the dark gold thorny aura, and a violent shockwave spread out, stirring up clouds of dust!

In that instant of impact, the ferocious smugness on Jiang Ruoyan's face suddenly froze, replaced by extreme terror!

She felt her immense true energy pouring out was like a mud ox entering the sea, completely blocked by the dark golden thorny energy, and even... devoured and rebounded!

Even more terrifying, in the next instant, the dark golden thorn aura on Xiao Yuening's body trembled violently, and several pitch-black spikes, formed from pure baleful energy and seemingly tangible, shot out from the surface of the aura like spears of death, with a sharpness that could pierce through everything!

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The dull thud of a sharp weapon piercing flesh is enough to make your teeth ache.

Several jet-black thorns pierced through Jiang Ruoyan's hastily erected protective qi without any hindrance, and stabbed into her shoulders, arms and thighs!

"ah--!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream pierced the night sky.

Jiang Ruoyan's body was sent flying backward by the enormous impact, crashing heavily to the ground like a rag doll, her black dress instantly stained with blood.

Xiao Yuening slowly dissipated his protective aura and scoffed, "A prodigy of the Xuan Yun Sect? Invincible among those of the same realm? How laughable!"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Yang had already arrived.

He grabbed Xiao Yuening's wrist with a tense expression.

When Chu Yang learned that Xiao Yuening's blood and qi were not only stable, but even stronger than before, he breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuening's Vajra Body could not only defend and attack, but also form an energy vortex with Yin energy as its core, absorbing the power of the attack.

Although I didn't absorb much just now, if I can master the method, it will definitely be an extremely terrifying technique.

Chu Yang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

No wonder ancient records describe the Yin Sha Body as having unparalleled combat power; it truly is quite mysterious.

Xiao Yuening quickly withdrew her right hand, her delicate brows furrowed: "Weren't you all all lovey-dovey with that 'pretentious' one? Don't touch me! Go find her!"

Chu Yang shuddered at the thought of the little fairy picking mushrooms, inwardly grumbling, "What am I going to do with these two women?"

At this moment, Guo Zhenyue had already stepped forward to check on Jiang Ruoyan's injuries.

His face was contorted with barely concealed rage as he coldly questioned, "It was just a friendly spar, why did War God Xiao act so viciously?"
